AOS/EAD May filers

[Silke 1]

I have my biometrics today. In fact, my appointment is in 2 hrs. I will let you know how it went.

[Arazia 0]

Hubbie just had his biometrics. He said: "Went in, filled in a form, gave form, took fingerprints, took picture, done." So, I think that about sums it up.

Nice to read the everything was perfect in the biometrics today!

Step by step we go in the right direction. Is good to stay together as one united group in this topic.

[bora bora 1]

gustahot, you're right.

arazia, i'm glad to hear it was quick.

silke, good luck today - let us know how it is.

everything i've heard about the biometrics appt has been positive.

take care guys/gals.

We finally got out snail mail for biometrics.. 6/08.

What do you have to fill out on the form for biometrics? Basic information or do you have to have your paperwork handy to answer it? My husband's letter said he only has to bring that one form and id.. nothing else? (NOA1s??)

Sorry I'm just nervous because I won't be there with him and I've bascially handled all the paperwork so far. I don't want him to get to the form and not know how to fill it out!

Harry says he filled out: Social security number (which he forgot - and they said that was okay), address, telephone number, parent's first names, his name, hair color, eye color, date of birth, place of birth.

Lucky for him my mom was with him, because he forgot to bring his wallet with his new ID that had all the current information on it. His memory is terrible. I need to get him to memorize at least the address and phone number

Anyways, updated information:

Thanks! I know he can fill out that much on his own! Phew!

I wonder if the later biometrics appointment is a reflection on how busy your local office is... hmmmm...

[bora bora 1]

Singers, I think you're right about some USCIS offices being busy. Orlando has a lot of immigrants and it seems I'm waiting a few days longer than some others.

My husband's biometrics letter says to only bring an ID as well.

[featherB 1]

Yay - my AOS package was signed for at 2:08pm. Now (as I read earlier in this thread!) can you really get a refund if you pay for Express Mail (my receipt says 'noon' as the 'scheduled time of delivery') and it doesn't make it there in time?!

NOA will be going to fiance's husband's mother's house, so as I can't start fixating about her mailbox anytime soon (well, obviously no point in that for another week or so at least, anyway), I will just have to start obsessively checking my online banking for evidence of cleared checks about a week from now.

[Silke 1]

I'm back from my biometrics appointment. It was fast and easy. I had to fill out the form Arazia described above and they took my fingerprints and picture. In addition to the appointment notice and my ID, I had to show them our marriage certificate as proof of the name change. Good luck to all of us

If you read the wording describing express mail, it says it can deliver to 'most' places by noon. I think the guarantee on it has to do with it being delivered next day. I wouldn't worry too much about a couple of hours. It's picked up from a P.O. box a couple of times a day so it may have been delivered on time, but no one was there to sign for it.

[bora bora 1]

I was the one who posted about getting your money back. I decided against it. Anyway, it was delivered by noon Chicago time. So, I guess that was right.

Your check will be cashed soon...

Ah, I'm not worried, I just thought if they were routinely refunding the money if they didn't deliver by noon, and it was easy to claim it back... well, $16 (or whatever it was, I forget) is not to be sniffed at! Anyway... I'm just glad it got there safely, that's the only reason I paid for the express mail (as opposed to when I was sending my forms & checklist back to the embassy in London, when I wanted it there NOW!), I don't care what time of day they get it there, just so long as it arrives and I know about it so I don't need to fret!

Oh - glad the biometrics went well and stress-lessly, btw!

Yeah, I very much doubt I'll bother to even look into it... I just remembered seeing that mentioned on the first couple of pages of the thread, and thought 'hmm'... like I said, all that matters to me is that it got there!

[bora bora 1]

We sent ours express as well - wanted it to get there as soon as possible. My husband wants his EAD already.

Our package arrived on the 2nd and our NOA was dated the 8th.
